<br>I've just been using it on my mac, and it seems to work really well - I'm really happy with it, the parallel view works perfectly.<br><br>I wonder how easy it would be to get it to color views with changes? I guess its a feature request and not a bug.
<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Joe.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">DM Smith</b> <<a href="mailto:dmsmith555@yahoo.com">dmsmith555@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Everyone,<br><br>I could really use your help testing BibleDesktop before I release it.<br><br>Just grab the latest JSword nightly build. Or go to the BibleDesktop<br>download page and run it via WebStart or if you are on the Mac, use
<br>the Mac zip.<br><br>Other than documentation and checkstyle changes, I don't expect any<br>other changes.<br><br>Unless you find bugs or feel strongly that something needs to be<br>different :)<br><br>This will probably be the biggest release since
1.0 from a visible UI<br>perspective.<br><br>==================== PARALLEL BIBLE<br><br>I have added Parallel Bible Viewing. So you should see the following:<br><br>There is an option to set the number of Bible pickers at:
<br>Options >> Bible Display >> Parallel Bible Limit<br><br>It defaults to 5. If you set it to 1, the main screen won't show -<br>and + buttons.<br><br>When > 2 the main screen will always show these buttons, but if you
<br>are showing one then the - will be disabled. Likewise, if you are at<br>the limit, the + button will be disabled.<br><br>If the display area for the Bible pickers is too small, then there<br>will be clipping and the right most ones will not display.
<br><br>When you add Bible picker it will be initialized to either the last<br>Bible you picked or to your default Bible. This uses your setting for<br>Options >> Bibles >> Use Current Bible.<br><br>==================== DIFFERENCES
<br><br>Related to Parallel Passage Viewing, I have also added the ability to<br>view differences between Bibles of the same language.<br><br>You can choose View >> Show Differences to turn it on or off.<br><br>I find it to be more of a novelty at this point. I think there needs
<br>to be improvements and am open to suggestions, but will probably push<br>further changes to another release.<br><br>==================== QUICK PICK<br>You will also see a quick pick for Book and Chapter. These do not<br>
track the what's shown via other mechanisms, e.g. search, blur,<br>manual passage entry, link navigation, ... They merely allow one to<br>quickly navigate to a selected chapter. This was a requested feature,<br>but I'm not sure I like the implementation. Perhaps it would be
<br>better if it were in the tool bar???<br><br>==================== API CHANGES<br>Sorry about this, but with the ability to pick multiple Bibles,<br>BookData now takes a Book[] rather than a Book. This had a big ripple<br>
effect.<br>I have also made changes to Options take effect immediately, if<br>possible.<br>And I have made other things toss Events, such as PropertyChangeEvents.<br><br>In His Service,<br> DM Smith<br><br><br><br>
